This Bus is in great condition especially for the year. It is mostly original except the interior has been partially redone and the stove and sink have been removed and the stereo is aftermarket. Its was repainted (the original color) some years back and still looks good. I'm going to give you details about everything I can. I will also supply detailed photos of everything important.
The Exterior: The bus is in great shape. It has spent most of its life in New Mexico in the desert and has no significant rust since its been in a very dry climate. It was painted by the previous owner about 7 years ago from what I am told. It was repainted the original color so the door jams and interior paint match up well. There are small imperfections, dents and scratches but nothing significant or easily noticeable. This bus is almost 40 years old and in amazing condition for the age. It has been stored inside since I've had it except the last 6 months has been stored outside because I moved and don't have a garage anymore ( this is the reason I'm selling her). All the glass is intact and the door open and close with ease. All the locks work with the same key but one the drivers lock is not working right now. The key turns in the lock but it doesn't seem to be connected to the lock itself. I think it would be an easy fix and I'll look at it and edit this add if i can. The interior: This interior looks really nice. Its has been modified from the original interior. The stove and sink have been remover and a wood floor has been installed. The seats have been reupholstered except the bed in the pop up which is in really good shape. This canvas on the pop top is whole but is brittle from sun on the side. I didn't replace it because it's fully functional but will eventually need to be replaced. A really nice stereo has been installed with new speakers in the front and back (i haven't wired in the back speakers but have all the necessary parts to complete the job. This stereo also plays dvd but you need to put a monitor somewhere. The kick panel in the front have also been replaced by the last owner but doesn't fit as well as the original but looks okay. The inside of the glove compartment is missing but the door is whole and works fine. The Engine: The engine is the flat 4 Cylinder 2.0 Liter that I believe is original. It runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. There is a sound that only occurs when the transmission is disengaged which I had a transmission mechanic to look at. He said that eventually I should replace the clutch and throw bearing if the sound gets any worst. He told me it's fine to drive and it not damaging my transmission. There is a secondary battery but Is dead and disconnected and have no idea how or if it functions. I just run the regular battery and leave the secondary untouched. The mileage listed is as stated on gauge but turns over at 100K so I would assume its 131k but really no idea. The Good: The bus is in great shape and could be easily restored into a show car or left as a daily driver or used for camping trip. It doesn't have any significant rust which is remarkable for it age but it seem the ocean or many salty roads. It drives and shifts better that any other bus I've ever driven. They all seem to be a little finicky but this one it really straight forward and relatively easy to drive. Everything functions well and could be a everyday driver the day of purchase. The light and turn signals works as they should. The glass is all good. there is really nothing that would prevent daily driving. The Bad: This is a 37 year old vehicle so not everything look brand new. There are small imperfection in the interior and exterior. The emergency lights don't work and I have no idea why and have never tried to fix. The canvas and clutch will need to be replaced but could be fine for a few years. It needs seals put on the Pop top and there is a crack in the corner which is shown in the pictures. This bus does have room for improvement but is in amazing condition given the age. I have set what I think is a low reserve for the vehicle. I can be reached @ 773-218-1911 if you have any questions. |

VW's Winterkorn tells 20,000 staffers of big cost-cutting plans
Thu, 24 Jul 2014During a gathering of 20,000 Volkswagen Group employees at company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany on Wednesday, CEO Martin Winterkorn dropped a bombshell. The boss stated that the automaker isn't operating efficiently enough and admitted the company needs to radically start cutting back to raise its profit margins. To right the ship, Winterkorn has proposed killing off less profitable models and spending less on research and development.
According to Reuters, Winterkorn wants to raise the VW brand's profit margin from about 2.9 percent in 2013 to a target of 6 percent. To make that possible, his plan amounts to increasing cost cutting until Volkswagen reaches about 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) per year to get things back in order. "Over the short-term, we urgently need more efficiency and higher profit," the CEO said during his speech, according to Reuters.
However, Winterkorn can't make these decisions unilaterally. Volkswagen's works council also has a seat on the supervisory board to represent laborers, and it isn't likely to take the proposed cuts sitting down.
VW reveals Outback-rivaling Golf Alltrack ahead of Paris
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack is getting a baby brother at this year's 2014 Paris Motor Show in the form of a new Golf Alltrack. Like its larger sibling, the little wagon is supposed to offer light-duty off-road driving ability combined with a more rugged look to show it off.
To give the Golf Alltrack that soft-road ability, VW is outfitting the wagon with its latest 4Motion all-wheel drive system from Haldex. The setup can decouple power from the rear-axle when not needed to save fuel. To further improve traction, the Alltrack gets VW's electronic differential lock, and the car can individually brake its inside wheel during hard cornering for better handling.
Volkswagen also wants the Alltrack to be able to visually show that it can handle getting away from the pavement, even though it starts life as a standard Golf wagon. That means jacking up the suspension an extra 0.75 inches and adding black moldings all the way around the car. There are also redesigned bumpers for the front and rear and silver underbody protection, plus new accents like anodized roof rails and silver mirror caps. The interior is essentially unchanged from the wagon, except for altered trim and Alltrack badges.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
